Background information about 'May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way'

Omnium Gatherum returns with their most compelling statement yet, and "May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way" burns with the intensity of a band that's found their perfect balance. This Finnish powerhouse has been crafting their unique blend of melodic death metal since 1996, but this album feels like the culmination of everything they've been building toward. Markus Vanhala's songwriting has never been sharper, weaving together crushing riffs with soaring melodies that'll have you air-guitaring before you know it.

What makes this record absolutely electric is how it functions as a loose concept album, telling street-level stories through the eyes of dreamers, addicts, and rebels. "Walking Ghost Phase" hits you right in the gut with its raw portrayal of addiction, while "Ignite The Flame" practically demands you raise your fist in solidarity. The production is absolutely stellar – recorded across various Finnish studios and mixed by the legendary Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios. The fact that Jukka Pelkonen's vocals were tracked on the same SSL console used for Queen's "Innuendo" adds this incredible layer of rock history to an already powerful performance. At under 45 minutes, this album wastes zero time and delivers maximum impact.

Insomnium, Dark Tranquillity, Katatonia, Swallow The Sun, Be'lakor
